REVEILLON
Rio de Janeiro weather & current time
More than 2 million people pack Rio's beaches for an all-night festival of music, food and fun, punctuated by SPECTACULAR fireworks. Trust the Brazilians to throw a party where everyone is welcome and admission is free!
The heart and soul of Reveillon is the beach itself, lit with thousands of white candles set into horseshoe shaped trenches and homemade altars honoring the goddess of the sea Yemanjá.
New Year's Eve is an important moment for the followers of the Afro-Brazilian religion Candomblé, a time when they make offerings to the powerful sea goddess. Along the beach circles of women dressed all in white, prepare small boats loaded with flowers, mirrors, trinkets, and perfumes. They launch the boats into the surf in the hope of obtaining Yemajá's favor for the year to come.
